Its 2025-2026 tenth-grade proficiency reached 81.25% in Social Studies, 90% in ELA, 85% in Math, and 90% in Science, far above state averages. It outperformed Little Chute High in every reported subject in both years.
Little Chute High is mid-pack: #250 of 533 in 2025-2026 (53rd percentile, 3 stars), with a 92.3% graduation rate, 1.8% dropout rate, and 16.1% chronic absenteeism. Its 2025-2026 proficiency was 40.66% in Social Studies, 54.02% in ELA, 42.53% in Math, and 44.83% in Science — above the state in ELA and Science, near the state in Math, and below it in Social Studies. Notably, Little Chute High spends more per student ($14,966 vs. $13,594) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (14.6 vs. 15.5), yet shows weaker outcomes, and it serves a higher free/reduced lunch share (31.52% vs. 20.43%). With only 93 students, the academy's cohorts are small, so yearly swings are possible — but its three-year ranking record suggests the results are consistent rather than a one-year fluke.
